It was National Cheesecake Day, and they gave out 1 free slice. However, you can't just go in here and leave with just 1. So, I purchased 3 other slices and a cupcake, and my review is about that experience only. The display showed a little bit of everything. If I had my way, I would have gotten 1 of each slice - they are that good. The Blueberry Cheesecake and Marble Fudge Cheesecake are already favorites of ours. I think I was trying the Black Forest Cheesecake for the first time. It has the same flavors as a black forest cake, but just in cheesecake form - I loved it. As I was about to purchase those, I noticed they had Carrot Cake by the register. I wasn't sure if those were cupcakes or cheesecakes (they were shaped like cupcakes). Either way, I got one and it was good as well. Yum. When you want Cheesecake, there is only 1 spot you should be visiting: Sweetz Cheesecake. read more

I've heard great things about Sweetz Cheesecake, so I finally decided to give it a try. Staff was really welcoming and answer questions about the different flavors, etc. They have a limited selection of slices...but there are more options if buying a whole cheesecake. I like that they offer a vegan chocolate cake and a gluten-free option. The banana puddin' cheesecake wasn't my favorite, but the blueberry lemon ricotta was SO good!! I'm def ordering their chocolate cake - picture looks devine! read more

Delicious cheesecake made by lovely people! We gifted a plain cheesecake (so we can't speak to how delicious it is) but the strawberry slice we had ourselves was bomb. This is a very cream cheesy type cake with a mousse-y texture! I know where I'm getting all my cheesecakes from here on out! read more

First & most important, the cheesecake is delicious. Great selection & wonderful friendly service!

Finally got to try Sweetz Cheesecake and it was delicious! The texture was soft and creamy and not overloaded with sugar. Not many bakeries that specialize in Cheesecakes and this one was very good, to go. This bakery has cakes by the slice and also offers other types of cakes too. Often specials like buy four slices and get two free deals. You can always order a full round cake of many different styles and types which would save some money too. The parking is very convenient and plentiful since it is located right in the center of a shopping strip. Passing by would be tough to spot since the signs for this shopping center are quite small. I will be coming back to try more flavors soon! read more

Grabbed a strawberry and marble cheesecake it was not worth the eleven dollars spent. The chocolate was not rich or decadent and the crust tasted like stale Oreo cookies. The piping and chocolate piece would've been good except it was goozing probably because the shelf life was ending. Will not try again read more

The service was solid, she was helpful in telling me the prices and flavors they had at the time. I got 6 slices for 20$ and of those 6 slices I got: 2x cookies n cream, 2x raspberry swirl, 1x mango, and 1x Black Forest cake. As a big fan of anything cookies n cream I was excited to try the cheesecake version of it and It was very underwhelming and disappointing. The raspberry swirl was pretty good and might just be my favorite, it seems that the best thing to go with a cheesecake is fruit because it's always good together. The Black Forest cake was surprisingly better than expected and you can taste the fruit that's in it too which makes it even better. The mango slice was unique and different but still decent. If I was ranking the flavors I'd say first the raspberry swirl, second the Black Forest cake, third the mango, and lastly the cookies n cream. Btw I'm not the biggest fan of cheesecake, I think it's a decent dessert but it's nowhere near my favorite desserts so if you like cheesecake i can see you enjoying this place a lot. I would be open to coming back to try their apple Crumb cheesecake, carrot cake, and their blueberry cheesecake. read more

Most delicious cheesecakes. Large variety of flavors. Makes a wonderful gift as well.

Great cheesecake selection and awesome customer service!! I have purchased from this shop a few times as gifts for others, and Ive been pleasantly surprised by the array of flavors available by the slice...typically, Ive seen cookies n' cream, chocolate chip kahlua, strawberry shortcake (seasonal), blueberry swirl, blueberry lemon, pumpkin (seasonal), plain, and turtle. They also offer additional flavors by the whole cake (12 slices). You can also purchase mixed whole cakes, and half cakes (6 slices) Overall, the cheesecakes are delicious, and they also offer a few vegan options (based on my understanding), and some flavors have the traditional graham cracker crust or a chocolate crust. The customer service has always patient and friendly..which I truly appreciate when making my selections. My favorite flavor has been the pumpkin. And overall, their cheesecakes have a great smooth, creamy texture, and most of them are not overly sweet, which allows the true taste of the flavor to come through. Highly recommend!! read more

Love Sweetz Cheesecake! Our favorite is the mango cheesecake. They have gluten-free and nut-free options as well. You can call or order online. Light and airy and not too sweet - definitely not your usual dense and heavy cheesecake ala Cheesecake Factory. So worth the $32 for a whole cake or you can be adventurous and order different flavors for $4.50 a slice. Would definitely recommend! read more

Hands-down the best gourmet cheesecake tucked in an unassuming strip mall in Gaithersburg - worth the trip from DC and Northern VA. The decadent Chocolate Chip Kahlua Cheesecake is divine loaded with rich chocolate chips and a thick chocolate crust topped with a pinch of buttercream frosting and a subtle flavor of Kahlua. The Chocolate Chip Kahlua Cheesecake was a hit at my hubby's birthday party, everyone devoured a slice! The fresh Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake loaded with fresh strawberries is also among my favorites with a nice graham cracker crust. At $4/slice, a box of 12 slices for $28 is well worth it. You can't really go wrong here with any of the cheesecakes. They are all sooo gooood! If you don't see a cheesecake in the display case, be sure to ask for it. It might be in the back freezer. I miss those Chocolate Dippers and Mini Cheesecakes from the early food truck days, please bring them back to the bakery! The service is just as sweet as the cheesecake as one of the male staffers gave me a slice of the Strawberry Shortcake on the house noticing low blood sugar level as I traveled over an hour from DC for the cheesecake and was traveling back to McLean. Totally worth the trek! read more

This place has the best cheese cake ever!! My favorite flavor is the fresh strawberry. I'm super sad that it's only available in the summer but it's soo good that I could probably eat the whole cake in one sitting. Fresh strawberry: the most freshest cake I've tasted. You can taste the fresh real strawberries mixed into the cake. It doesn't taste artificial like a strawberry glaze or anything. It actually taste like high end dessert unlike the other types of cheesecake that just taste like sugar. Plain cheese cake flavor: this is also probably the best plain cake I've had. Definitely has a strong cream cheese taste and is very rich. I ordered both of these cakes on the phone 1-2 days before and the order went smoothly. I'd recommend ordering earlier though near the holidays. I'll be back to try out more flavors but fresh strawberry will always be my favorite. read more

One of the best cheesecakes I've ever had! I first had Sweetz Cheesecake a few years ago at the Truckeroo event in DC and I will never forget that special cheesecake on a stick. The home store is located in Gaithersburg right next to Thai House. The cheesecakes are available by the slice or whole. They have an awesome deal, buy 4 slices and you get 2 for free! I went in there on a whim not intentionally buying more than a slice but walked out with more. I ordered two Classic Plain, Oreo, Amaretto, Chocolate Chocolate, and White Chocolate Raspberry cheesecakes. My favorite was the Amaretto cheesecake, the nutty almond taste really came through in every bite. It was very creamy, fresh, and not entirely sweet. *Vegan and Gluten-free options are available* You must try this place! It won't disappoint. read more

It's a celebration to plan for. Strawberry Cheesecake is a favorite. I checked Yelp for the reviews - low and behold. Craig (the owner) took my "special order" - It had to be cut in twenty pieces with two pieces contained separately for her to take home. Oh yeah, strawberry slices are to adorn each piece. While this was not normal I do often venture off menu from time to time. Spectacular job wouldn't you say? Yumm read more

I'm not a huge fan of cheesecakes because they are usually too dense/heavy/rich for my liking, but the cheesecake here is really soft and smooth. Some people may not like this because this "cake" tends to lose its form and look more like a blob of pudding. I've had the Chocolate Raspberry, Irish Cream, and Turtle and they have all been really good. Most of the time, the cheesecake seems freshly made, but one time, the slice I got was half frozen... read more

One of the best cheesecakes I have had and it was vegan! I saw this place as I was picking up food from Thai House next door. I looked at their online menu and saw they had a lot of vegan options. I decided to give them a try for a family birthday that is coming up. I called a week ahead and asked what flavors they had for vegan cheesecakes. They had only a few since they make certain flavors week by week. Raspberry was one of the flavors and I decided to get that. Pick-up was fast and easy and was told to thaw it out for 2 hrs before eating. That first bite was delicious! Great texture and flavor. Will def. come back again! read more

Declious cheesecakes. Was able to walk in and get a whole cheesecake with assorted slices that I picked out.

Needed a birthday dessert and the request was cheesecake. Automatically, one would think The Cheesecake Factory but I wanted to support small local businesses so I did my research. Stumbled upon Sweetz, called to place an order and the gentleman I spoke with over the phone was very kind and helpful. Ordered the cake and picked it up the next day. The cheesecake wasn't overly sweet and had a nice consistency. Will definitely return. read more

Sweetz Cheesecake - 1/2 Key Lime & 1/2 Cookies and Cream - Bakeries Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Sweetz Cheesecake has a retail shop (that offers cheesecakes by the whole and by-the-slice), wholesale offerings, as well as fundraising opportunities. They even have a 'cheesecake truck,' which I thought was pretty cool! Flavors include the Classic Plain, Raspberry Swirl, Amaretto, Black Forest, Chocolate Chip Kahlua, Cherry Swirl, Chocolate, Chocolate Raspberry, Caramel Pecan, Irish Cream, Key Lime, Mango Crunch, Orange Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter Cup, Tiramisu, Turtle, Cookies n' Cream, Apple Crumb, White Chocolate Raspberry, Marble Fudge, Italian Frangelico, Cappuccino, Blueberry Swirl, Pumpkin, Strawberry Shortcake, and Blueberry Lemon. They also offer cakes, such as the Carrot Cake, Chocolate! Chocolate!, and Chocolate Layer. The place itself is more of a take-out place, but they do have some counter seating (about 4 stools) available (however, the area had stacks of cardboard/moving boxes). The bakery case had only a limited selection, but I ended up getting a slice of the Blueberry Swirl (blueberry puree swirled into the classic cheesecake on a graham crust) and a slice of Key Lime (key lime with classic vanilla on a graham crust). I initially wanted a slice of their Cherry Swirl - however, it was a little weird and disappointing that while this flavor was readily available (the pie was already sectioned with parchment paper in slices), it was strictly unavailable to be purchased by-the-slice as it was not 'sitting on the top shelf' (there wasn't a note or a sign that stated this policy). When discussing this further with the employee, he stated that once any of the cakes run out on that top shelf in the bakery case, any of the cakes on the bottom then takes its place. It didn't seem as if that was going to happen anytime soon, as most of the cheesecake slices on that top shelf were not budging! What was even more confusing was that even though the Blueberry Swirl was not in the bakery case, it was still available from the kitchen's refrigerator in the back... The employee further states that the top shelf's flavors changes often, and then the Cherry Swirl makes its appearance frequently; but, it changes on a daily basis, so it was stated that customers should call the store everyday to find out which ones are available. So much work for a cheesecake HA! Either way, I was still super excited about trying the pieces, but unfortunately, both were just not tasty at all - the Blueberry Swirl had the blueberry puree within, but it didn't seem to have been folded in well, as most of the puree were on the surface. The cheesecake itself was not really a cheesecake, but it was more of a 'mousse' style - runny and no creaminess that you expect. Same went for the Key Lime - the texture was consistent of being mousse-like, and there was not much 'key lime' flavor to it, but just a subtle hint of lime. The graham crust was super dry, and didn't stick to being a base crust for the slices. I just wished we had the similar delicious experiences that others have had... Neither of us wanted to take any more bites so both ended up being tossed. I'm glad that I was able to try out Sweetz Cheesecake, but don't think we'd go back! +runny, mousse-like cheesecake T____T +dry graham crust T____T +strange rotation policy with cheesecakes offered by-the-slice T____T read more

Absolutely amazing cheesecake that would be hard to compete with in me and my husband's book. I ordered their caramel cheesecake (sans pecans which it is usually made with), and it turned out -- WONDERFUL! All caps because I have to shout it to the world, and for some reason people interpret all caps as screaming... The way they handled me as a customer was topnotch. They were in touch, informative, precise, and above all truly hospitable. I called them and placed my order over the phone. I told them everything that I wanted without a beat skipped on their end. - Placed order on the phone - Paid over the phone with receipt emailed to my inbox and text message to my phone (price for all whole cheesecakes are $25) - I was contacted a few days before to verify where they would be exactly for me to pick it up. - Arrived at time and place for pick up and walked away in 30 seconds. The driver called me the day of to notify me that he had my order and where he would be -- simply reiterating what had already been confirmed. I would rather be double confirmed than not at all. I appreciated the extra mile. Sweetz Cheesecake is based out of Gaithersburg. That is not exactly a short drive or metro ride (not even fully metro accessible) to Arlington. Since they have a food truck that ventures into DC almost everyday of the work week, I met them half way. I picked up my husband's lovely cheesecake outside of the L'Enfant Plaza metro. No sweat! As for the cheesecake itself, it was not overly rich. It was fluffy and light loaded with a perfect balance of caramel flavor. It was so good that we had it for breakfast this morning. His birthday was yesterday. I would recommend them to anyone. They're great with working with your schedule and deliver on substitutions. I am thinking I might use them for my own birthday when time comes in a couple of months. This is where you get cheesecake in it's purist for without the fillers. read more

Ordered the key lime cheesecake for a friend's birthday. Everyone loved it- 10/10! I will definitely be ordering from this place again.

OMG! SWEETZ Cheesecake is the best! My only beef is that I'd love to mail cheesecakes to all my friends but they don't ship. You must try the Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake and the Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake. They're absolutely the best. You can call to put in an order in avance to ensure they have the size and flavor cheesecake you want, or walk in (limited choices). They have an incredible assortment of flavors. This Cheesecake is perfect also for office birthday parties - you can order it pre-cut cut or whole. read more

We ordered a vegan cheesecake ( raspberry flavor), I ordered online over weekend, and followed up the day before I needed to pick up -super easy experience. When I called to pay the next day and mentioned I wanted to also sample a few flavors of dairy ( we have dairy allergy in family but some of us can eat dairy), the person I spoke to said he would throw in a few pieces for free even though I tried to pay for them. Both the cakes were really rich, full of flavor. The only thing I would suggest is if they can add some real fruit toppings - as cheese cakes tend to be very sweet, and that balances out the flavors a little. But I give 5 stars for quality, variety, ease of order, and friendliness of their staff. And they do curb side pick up - so COVID safe! read more

Stopped in today for my first time and I have to say, one of the best pieces of cheesecake I've had. I had a slice of white chocolate raspberry and It was made to perfection. Perfectly sweet, but not overwhelming. They had about 7 different kinds available. The kitchen is right behind where you order so you see them preparing everything. It seemed to be family owned. Not the type of place where you sit down and eat however they did have a few chairs. A whole cheesecake goes for 26$, and my slice was $3.50. Definitely will be back soon!! :) read more

Let's just say I'm glad I live 30 miles away from this place and it's bit of hassle to get here because if I were living nearby, I would be extremely fat and won't get girls! I admit. I never heard of this place until Groupon email me about special offer they were running. Being a cheesecake lover, I quickly jumped on bandwagon and got a coupon. I'm now a super fan! They have lots of varieties for cheesecake and gourmet cakes. I haven't tried to gourmet cake yet, so I can't speak for them. But their cheesecakes are MONEY. I crave for cheesecake a lot and frequently go to 'The Cheesecake Factory' just so that I can get a cheesecake. This place blows Cheesecake Factory away! They will serve 9" cheesecake in a pizza-box but who cares! The cheesecake is beautiful, make me almost want to just stare at it for few minutes and praise the guys who made it before I lose my control and dig in. I can only wish they would open up one in DC or Virginia and sell by slices - it'll make a hole in my bank account but I'll survive. read more

The hubs and I made dinner and wanted to get out, this place came up for desserts. We went at about 6:30 pm, the choices were limited for by the slice. They did have a deal but 4 slices get two free 14$ for 6 slices was a good deal. Overall it was pretty solid cheesecake, banana pudding, white chocolate raspberry, chocolate chocolate, and black Forrest. I am wondering if because it was a little late in the day they weren't amazing. I will def Be going back, probably will even order a whole cake. I say check it out, I think it has potential. read more

Rude, Rude, Rude! Like many other reviewers I too had a Groupon for Sweetz Cheesecake. I followed the instructions on the Groupon, which specifically said to call the store and order a cheesecake. When I did so, the owner rather snippily told me that they were no longer accepting any orders from Groupon customers because the Groupon was expiring that day. I said I understood if they were running low on product that day, and I would be happy to order my cheesecake and pick it up whenever they were willing and able to fulfill the order. After all I figured, it's a cheesecake store, they're gonna make more cheesecake, right? Wrong! The owner told me that I had to come in to the store and I could have whatever they had left that day. When I asked them what if they ran out before I could get there, they said all Groupon customers were now being served on a first-come-first serve basis and that if they had nothing left, I would get nothing. When I told them the terms of the Groupon specified advance ordering, they said they were not going to accept my order or anyone else's for that matter. I told them I would see if I could free myself up from work to come to their store. As it turned out, I was not able to leave work, so I called Sweetz Cheesecake back to see if there was some way to work it out. I said I did not like the way they were handling Groupon customers, and that if they didn't honor their commitment, I'd be forced to call and ask for a refund. They hung up the phone on me! Talk about awful customer service! Apparently these people are more than willing to take money for orders, but only follow through when they feel like it. I would not ever shop here, not matter how good their cheesecake is! Considering the awful customer service and rude and belligerent attitude of the owner, I expect this place to close inside of six months. read more

Average cheesecake. Cheesecake is very soft, as in slices are rendered formless. Slices are more like blobs of soft cheesecake verging on pudding. Hard to believe it was even baked, if for a bit. Also wasn't impressed with the crust. It didn't have any texture, so it just got lost and mixed in with the formless cut dollops of cheesecake. Not a strong cream cheese taste, some may prefer that; I, however, do not. I do appreciate the simple, natural ingredients, but some ratios are off and/or they are not baked enough. Threw mine in the freezer at work, so I could get some type congealment. read more
